The Chupacabra - w/ Special Guest Ben Radford Part 1 (S8 E6)

MVP's WTF? Paranormal

Throughout parts of the Southwestern United States, Mexico, Latin America, and Puerto Rico, tales of the legendary Chupacabra run rampant. Folks share tales of sightings of the creature with glowing red eyes and large fangs, who lurks in the forest and preys on livestock and farm animals. Many residents are fearful the Chupacabra, which translates to “Goat Sucker”, is an animal vampire, sucking the blood out of its prey. However, is the Chupacabra real and why were sightings only reported as far back as the 1990s?

Our special guest, Benjamin Radford, is the world’s leading authority on the Chupacabra. He is literally an expert on the topic as he spent over 5 years researching the Chupacabra, traveling to all parts of the world to conduct interviews, field research, and forensic analysis. He authored the most authoritative book on the Chupacabra, Tracking the Chupacabra: The Vampire Beast in Fact, Fiction, and Folklore (2011).
